BUILDING A MURPHY BED

What happens here

Measure and cut plywood panels for the main components of the bed platform: the long side rails, the headboard, and the footboard. The dimensions of these pieces are critical and should correspond to the mattress size and the specific Murphy bed hardware kit. These pieces are then partially assembled, typically using pocket holes, wood glue, and screws.

Goal: Cut plywood pieces for the bed platform's side rails, headboard, and footboard, and assemble them.
